The Tower Bridge is scheduled to be closed to all forms of traffic from 9/17/07 – 11/20/07. This shutdown will allow a widening of the pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks that, according to the Bee, are like skinny calves on a body builder. (Let’s all absorb that for a moment)  Alternatives to crossing the river are the Pioneer Bridge and the I Street Bridge. To stay up-to-date on all things bridge related, click here. Or, if you have questions about the status of the bridge, please call the Tower Bridge Pedestrian and Bikeway Improvements Project information line at (916) 492-6454. I’m quite sure that they’d like to hear from you about your not using the bridge for two months. By the way, this whole issue prompted the following conversation in the office today:
Person 1: Man, they’re closing the bridge for two months? How am I going to get to West Sac?
Person 2: West Sac? Where’s that?
